    My first trip to Yankee Stadium in 84, I saw Phil pitch against the Mariners...IIRC, he gave up three hits, and the M's won because 2 of them were upper deck Ken Phelps bombs...

    Believe it or not, I remember that game. I would have been 13. Watching it on KSTW Channel 11.
    Damn. You were born around the time of the Kurt Flood ruling establishing free agency.

    In the 60’s, baseball players were at the mercy of the owners. I remember in mid-60’s when Koufax and Drysdale held out to make $100,000 apiece.

    Earlier, Jackie Robinson retired after the 1956 season when the Brooklyn Dodgers traded him to the to cross-town rival, the New York Giants.

    This was on my feed today, as a reminder that hitting is harder than it looks…
